Sleigh Ride

One of my prized possessions is a seat from a carriage that my mother had made into a bench. Love it. This Hungarian sleigh bench from Restoration Hardware obviously caught my eye. It was inspired by a century-old bench found in a barn in Hungary — or so the story goes — and is made of elm with oxidized metal strappings and rings. Price is $1,995, and quantities are limited. What do you think? Yea or nay?
